The Queen Returns—And She's Unforgiving novel Chapter 2

Evelyn paled when she felt a sharp pain in her heart.

The air conditioning in the house kept the atmosphere within the room constant all year round, but at that moment, she felt like she was in an ice cave.

Seeing that she was quiet, Lucas looked away after a few seconds. "Tiffany's mom is suffering from the last stage of cancer. Her only wish is to see her daughter have someone to rely on.

"You better not make a fuss and just do your part as my wife. I won't do anything to you if you execute the role well."

He spoke of his infidelity as if he was doing some sort of righteous act.

What did he mean by saying he would not do anything to Evelyn?

Evelyn was momentarily dazed before she smiled. Ignoring the sharp pain in her heart, she replied, "You shouldn't be here if she needs someone to accompany her."

With that, she turned and closed the door without hesitation.

A few minutes later, she could hear the car starting downstairs before Lucas drove away. It was with little doubt that he was on his way to Tiffany's house.

Exhausted, she forced herself to the bathroom to wash her face. As the cold water splashed on her face, she came to her senses.

She then opened her laptop and contacted a lawyer she had met three years ago, asking them to draft up a divorce agreement.

The lawyer asked, "Ms. Reed, do you have any extra requests on things like the house or the car? How would you like to separate your assets?"

Evelyn gave it some thought before responding calmly, "I don't want anything."

She didn't even want Lucas anymore, so why would she want his things?

Not to mention, she had read online that the divorce process would be much faster if she agreed to divorce him without wanting anything.

That way, she would not need to force her increasingly fragile body to negotiate with him repeatedly.

The lawyer quickly sent her a completed draft of the divorce agreement.

Evelyn printed the papers and signed her name without any hesitation. Her hand had even turned white from how hard she held her pen.

Then, she forced her tired body to pack her things.

When she arrived at the door, she looked back at the house she had spent three years in. Then, she left without turning back.

The next day, Evelyn took a day off from her work and sent someone to deliver the divorce papers to Bluezen.
